black hole
Director
David Fincher is going to direct
Charles Burns'
graphic novel Black Hole, based on a screenplay by
Neil Gaiman and
Roger Avary, which is a creepy quartet in itself. If you haven't picked it up by now, Burns' black-ink heavy story deals with a group of teenagers who catch a bizarre STD called The Bug, which causes extreme physical mutations. Eventually the kids become outcasts, creating their own small societies at the fringes of cities and towns. This sounds intriguing, although hopefully the end result will fare a bit better than
Beowulf, which Avary and Gaiman also collaborated on the script for. We're also interested to see what The Finch does with
Rendezvous with Rama, which he's also directing. [
